Market Close | Sensex, Nifty down 1.6% each

Indian equity indices ended on a negative note with Nifty below 23,900 on March 11. At close, the Sensex was down 1,342.27 points or 1.72 percent at 76,863.71, and the Nifty was down 394.75 points or 1.63 percent at 23,866.85.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

Bears remained at the helm and, as expected, they emerged around the 24,300 level, leading to a sharp fall during the day. On the lower end, the index slipped further and briefly pierced the 24,000 mark.

The ongoing rise in crude oil prices and the choking supply of natural gas sent shockwaves through the Indian equity market. An already weak technical chart extended its weakness, as the positive gap between the 50DMA and 200DMA appears to be narrowing, heightening the risk of a death cross. A death cross occurs when the 50DMA cuts the 200DMA from above. If this happens, further rounds of selling pressure could emerge, potentially pushing the Nifty significantly lower.

Supports are placed at 23,700 and 23,300, while on the higher end, resistance is placed at 24,100.

Abhinav Tiwari Research Analyst at Bonanza

Today, the Indian stock markets ended lower, breaking their recent recovery as global tensions, high crude oil prices and continued foreign investor selling weighed on sentiment. Even though there was positive news around Reliance’s proposed refinery investment in the US, it was not enough to support the broader market.

The Sensex fell about 1,342 points, while the Nifty dropped nearly 395 points from the previous close.

Most sectors traded in the red. Auto and private bank stocks led the decline, while pharma and a few defensive sectors managed to remain positive. A major factor affecting sentiment was continued selling by FIIs. In the first week of March alone, FIIs sold more than Rs 21,000 crore worth of Indian equities, which has created persistent pressure on the market.

The ongoing conflict between the US and Iran kept global markets nervous. Reports of strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, an important global oil shipping route, increased fears of supply disruptions.

Global attention remained on Donald Trump’s announcement of a USD 300 billion refinery project in Texas, where Reliance is expected to be a key partner. While Reliance shares stayed firm after the news, the gains in a few large stocks could not offset the broad market weakness.

In the near term, Indian markets are likely to remain volatile and largely driven by global headlines, especially developments in the Middle East and movements in crude oil prices. However, India’s long term growth story supported by strong government spending on infrastructure and manufacturing remains intact.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments

Domestic equities ended lower as weak global cues and the ongoing US–Iran conflict kept risk-off sentiment elevated. Concerns over rising inflation stemming from potential energy supply disruptions and rationing prompted investors to book profits, while continued FII outflows further added to market pressure.

Sector-wise, auto, banking, and realty stocks bore the brunt of the decline amid growing worries over demand slowdown. In contrast, healthcare stocks attracted defensive interest, while gas distributors gained after the government prioritized gas allocation. Looking ahead, markets are likely to remain cautious as investors await U.S. and domestic inflation data and clearer macro signals before taking fresh directional bets.

Rupee traded weaker, slipping 0.13% below the 92.00 mark, as the dollar index hovered near 99 and volatile crude prices kept pressure on the currency. Oil movements remain a key driver for the rupee, with crude on the domestic exchange rising nearly 7% today, which tends to widen India’s import bill and weigh on the currency.

For now, the expected trading range for the rupee is 91.25–92.60, while market participants will closely watch U.S. CPI data and crude oil inventory numbers later in the evening, which could influence both the dollar index and global commodity prices.

Sudeep Shah, Head - Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities

Nifty faced strong resistance around the 24300–24310 zone, which coincided with the previous day’s high. The index gradually drifted lower through the session and eventually closed at 23867, down 1.63%. On the daily chart, Nifty formed a sizeable bearish candle, indicating strong selling pressure at higher levels. The index failed to sustain its recent pullback attempt and ended with yet another lower close, highlighting the continued dominance of bears over bulls.

Momentum indicators further support the negative bias. The RSI remains in a falling trajectory and is currently placed near 30, reflecting weak momentum. Meanwhile, a rising ADX signals strengthening bearish trend intensity, and the MACD remains well below the zero line, reinforcing the prevailing downside bias.

On the sectoral front, Nifty Pharma ended the day as the top sectoral gainer, continuing its strong run. Nifty Oil & Gas was the next best sectoral gainer, closing with a gain of 0.18%. On the other hand, Nifty Auto ended the day as a top sectoral loser, closing with a loss of over 3%, followed by Nifty Financial Services. With regards to stocks, JIOFIN & COALINDIA emerged as the top stock gainers amongst the Nifty pack while the BAJFINANCE & AXISBANK emerged as the top two losers.

Among broader markets, the Midcap Index engulfed the previous day’s candle, forming a clear bearish candle on the daily chart. The Smallcap Index, however, showed relatively better resilience. It formed a small-bodied red candle with an upper shadow, suggesting selling pressure emerging at higher levels. Overall, both benchmark and frontline indices failed to sustain higher levels and closed the session in the red, reflecting cautious sentiment and persistent selling pressure in the market.

The market breadth remained weak as the advance-decline ratio was titled in the favour of bears at day’s close. A total of 343 stocks out of the Nifty 500 universe ended in the red.

Nifty View

Going ahead, the immediate support for Nifty is placed in the 23750-23700 zone. Any sustainable move below this zone could result in Nifty extending its weakness towards 23500, followed by 23300 in the short term. On the upside, the zone of 23950–24000 zone is likely to act as a strong resistance.

Bank Nifty View

Bank Nifty also encountered stiff resistance near the 57000–57100 zone and gradually drifted lower through the day to close at 55736, down 2.13%. The index formed a large bearish candle, erasing the entire gain of the previous session and ending with a lower close, indicating renewed selling pressure.

For Bank Nifty, the immediate support is placed in the 55400–55300 zone. Any sustainable move below this zone could result in Bank Nifty extending its weakness towards 54900, followed by 54500 in the short term. On the upside, the zone of 56100–56200 zone is likely to act as a strong resistance.

Gaurav Udani, Founder, Thincredblu Securities

Nifty witnessed an extended sell-off today and closed at 23,850, down about 415 points. The index failed to hold on to yesterday’s recovery, which suggests that the rally was largely short-covering rather than fresh buying. When markets are unable to sustain rebounds, it usually indicates fragile sentiment and cautious positioning among participants.

From a technical standpoint, 23,600–23,800 is an important support band in the near term. A decisive break below this zone could accelerate the decline toward 23,200 levels. On the upside, 24,100 now acts as immediate resistance.

At the moment, market psychology remains defensive, with traders preferring to lighten positions on rallies rather than build fresh longs. Until we see a strong close above 24,450, the bias is likely to remain weak, and traders may continue to adopt a sell-on-rise strategy while maintaining disciplined risk management.

Market Close | Market crashes yet again; Sensex slides 1,342 pts, Nifty below 23,900

Indian equity indices ended on a negative note with Nifty below 23,900 on March 11.

At close, the Sensex was down 1,342.27 points or 1.72 percent at 76,863.71, and the Nifty was down 394.75 points or 1.63 percent at 23,866.85. About 1807 shares advanced, 2277 shares declined, and 138 shares unchanged.

Biggest Nifty losers were Bajaj Finance, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Eicher Motors and M&M, while gainers were NTPC, Jio Financial, Coal India, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's Labs.

Nifty Midcap index fell 1.2%, while smallcap index shed 0.36%.

On the sectoral front, auto, FMCG, PSU Bank, Consumer Durables, Private Bank, Capital Goods, IT, realty shed between 0.5-2%, while oil & gas, pharma indices ended with marginal gains.

Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets

MCX crude prices are rising even though Brent Crude fell mainly due to currency factors and some domestic factors. MCX crude futures in India are closely linked to WTI crude and are traded in INR, so fluctuations in the USDINR exchange rate play a significant role in determining price.

If the rupee weakens against the USD, the cost of crude oil imports rises in rupee terms, which can push MCX crude prices higher despite a fall in Brent crude. The recent USD strength that we have seen as a result of safe haven flows on the back of the conflict in the Middle East has had a major impact in this regard.

The conflict also encouraged traders to add a risk premium and has led to stronger speculative buying. Meanwhile, Brent crude faced downward pressure as markets anticipated a release of strategic reserves, easing immediate supply concerns. The difference in driving forces has created a divergence between the two benchmarks.

Short-term differences can also arise from speculative trading, hedging strategies by market participants, and variations in contract specifications and expiry timings between international and domestic crude oil futures markets. Therefore, currency movements and local trading dynamics can cause MCX crude to move differently from Brent.

SEBI explores faster ‘login & launch’ framework for AIF schemes: SEBI Chairman

Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart

Sedemac Mechatronics made a positive stock market debut, listing at a 13% premium with shares opening at ₹1,535 against the issue price of ₹1,352, despite a relatively mixed IPO response. The ₹1,087.4-crore IPO was subscribed 2.68 times overall, largely supported by strong institutional participation where the QIB portion was subscribed 8.7x, while the NII segment saw 77% subscription and retail demand remained weak at just 20%, reflecting cautious participation from non-institutional investors.

Fundamentally, the company operates in the auto electronics segment, designing and manufacturing Electronic Control Units (ECUs), motor controllers, and integrated starter-generator systems used in two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and industrial applications, a space benefiting from increasing vehicle electrification and advanced electronic integration. Despite the strong listing gains, the muted retail interest suggests the stock may witness near-term volatility due to profit-booking.

Overall, the outlook remains moderately positive but cautious; short-term traders can maintain a stop loss at ₹1,420, while long-term investors may hold with a stop loss at ₹1,320 while tracking business execution and growth in the auto electronics segment
